Gregory's ServerI broadly agree with you. However, I think it won't really happen until we get better standards for "mini cloud computing". Basically, a way to make it easier to write web apps meant for a small scale such that an end user can install with minimal configuration.
Also, I wonder if we can use #gridcomputing and #dapp ideas to make it easier for people to pool spare resources together for hosting and computation.
@gabri I think it's going to happen whether we're ready for it or not, because funding won't be there forever for the corporate sites and the Cohosts of the world never had real money to begin with
Now I fully agree on you on what we need for it to go WELL, but I think it's coming whether we're prepared or not
